Describe the use of a crane

A crane is a heavy-lifting machine used for moving heavy materials, such as beams and construction equipment, from one point to another. Cranes can also be used to lift and attach massive objects or assemblies, such as trusses or bridges, as part of a construction or engineering project. Cranes are often used in industrial and construction settings to move large items, such as containers, over long distances.
